If we lose to the Redskins...

What will you say? What does that say about the team?

Besides the Arizona game (which was Cam's first game) and the Jacksonville game (which the Panthers won), the Redskins are a team the Panthers SHOULD beat. Losing to them is a bad loss. It's at home, the Redskins have just made a change at QB, and they don't have a stud RB to gash the Panthers porous run defense. They are the first team besides those first two teams mentioned that didn't have a first round bye, appear in the NFC Championship game, or win the Superbowl in the last 2 seasons.

If the Panthers lose, it makes me very skeptical that any progress has been made this year. Cam Newton is a rookie but he has shown he has the talent and poise to be great. Every other team they lost to, the Panthers had no business beating at this point. Teams that are far more experienced and have had recent success. This game should mark the turning point - that the Panthers can beat teams they are supposed to beat. It took a monsoon, but they barely rose to the challenge against Jacksonville. Let's see what they can do this week against a very beatable Washington Redskins team.

Last time I said "If we lose to the Redskins.." it was followed by "I will not wear any more Carolina gear the rest of the season". That was 2001, week 6 IIRC... I still wore a hat that just had the blue 'C' from the name logo the rest of that season. I could/would not stand by my defeatist attitude... I dont talk like that anymore...

Washington is no slouch team. They may actually be "alot" better with Beck instead of Rex Grosman. In addition their defense is good to very good. They are a 3-4 and last time Cam played a 3-4 he threw 3 picks(Not in garbage time I might add). Orrapopo and Kerrigan are monsters on the outside edges. Deangelo Hall is an a-hole but he will pick you and take it to the house. Plus he has familiarity with Steve Smith. Torrain and Hightower are good backs.

Most importantly "WE CAN'T STOP ANYONE FROM RUNNING ON US". Running backs in a contract year are dancing with jubilation if we are on the schedule right now. Redskins are happy to put the game into the hands of the Defense and running game. Unless we have worked on something this week to at least slow down opposing run defenses we are in trouble for the remainder of the year. Especially with Adrian "F*$&(*& *" Peterson the next week. He might have 400 yards rushing in a game.

I'll be like that thru Sunday, then I'll get over it and be looking forward to the next week.

Washington has a decent running game and pretty good defense, this isn't really a should win for us.

I'm not going to make any bold statements either way... I enjoy the Panthers and want them to win, but I'm not going to make 50 threads on here next week talking about how bad we suck/Rivera should be fired/Special Teams is horrible/etc/etc/etc... that's what the rest of you will do. :D

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
